A NEW device is set to be launched that could challenge the PS4, Xbox One and Wii U for the business of gamers.

Taiwanese firm Acer has revealed its plans to challenge the established names in the sector with its new additions to its Predator range of gaming hardware.

Acer are looking to unleash an Android-powered Predator tablet to go with its range of gaming PCs.

Featured during the company's press conference in New York this week, the new device is set to be launched in the fourth-quarter of 2015 and will look to rival the Nvidia Shield.

It's been confirmed that the new Predator tablet will include features such as haptic feedback and four front-facing speakers.

It will have an 8-inch screen, but other specs are still very thin on the ground.

The new product will have to take on the established Tegra K1-powered NVIDIA Shield tablet, which can be bought with a controller, cover-stand and already has a streaming data base of game to choose from.

The GRID streaming service is free until June 30 2015 if you own a Shield Tablet which could get pretty competitive if people get behind it in the same way as Netflix.

NVIDIA have already revealed their plans to expand their gaming hardware line and launch a new Shield console later in 2015.

Available in May for £129 and boasting 16GB of memory, the Android TV console will be powered by Nvidia's Tegra X1 Chip and comes with a Shield controller.

The Shield has the ability to stream games from dedicated Nvidia GeForce-powered PCs to your TV and will supports DirectX 12.

The Nvidia store will have 50 games to offer at launch, including The Talos Principle, Borderlands The Pre-Sequel, Telltale's Game of Thrones and Resident Evil 5.
